Here is a great idea from the yearbook adviser at Alva High School that I would like to see our kids do. VIRTUAL PROM (Please Share) Even though the pandemic has everything shut down, the Prom Pages for Waukomis High School Yearbook have to be completed! Girls - put on the dress you so carefully picked out and fix your hair and make-up! Guys - dress up as nice as you can - no tux necessary. Have someone take your picture and send it in so we can fill those pages! Remain socially distanced and no congregating in groups. If you share with me who your date would have been, I will pair up those photos. Help us make the 2020 yearbook one to remember. E-MAIL PICTURES TO: jasondykstra@waukomis.k12.ok.us

Distance Learning Plan for Waukomis Middle and Elementary School Waukomis Middle and Elementary School will begin our Distance Learning Plan on Monday, April 6. We will offer two different plans: an online curriculum plan or a curriculum packet. Students and parents will be contacted by a teacher to inform you about each teachers online learning education to be offered. We understand that online education is not an option for all students so we have created an option that would accommodate for all Middle School and Elementary students. Every student from Pre-K to 8th grades will be offered a curriculum packet that can be picked up in front of the elementary on Monday, April 6 from 8:00-12:00. All you have to do is drive up and tell a staff member what grade your child is in and they will bring the packet to your car. Curriculum packets will contain two weeks of work. On April 20, from 8:00-12:00, you would bring back the packet and pick up a new one. You can have another party pick up your packet just call the school. We realize this is a very stressful time, and distance learning is not an ideal situation for our students. However, I feel the parental support from our parents will overcome these circumstances. We love and miss your children very much. If you have any questions please feel free to call me. Thank You Allen Hicks 580-541-4866 580-758-3264

Waukomis Public Schools has a Special Board Meeting scheduled for this evening. We ask that all patrons please stay home and join the meeting via teleconference per CDC regulations. The following message will have the information to join the meeting.

Dear Parent: Our community, state, and nation are facing unprecedented challenges due to COVID-19. Life has changed for everyone and we are all working together to deal with these changes. Disruption and change are hard for everyone but can be especially difficult for children. It is Waukomis Public Schools’ goal to not only provide essential learning opportunities for your children, but also provide structure and routine surrounding those learning moments. We know there will be challenges to overcome, but we are looking forward to working alongside you in overcoming these challenges and provide your child/children a loving and caring continuous learning experience. You may be wondering how we will do it? First of all, we will find out what technology and support you have at home. Then, we will provide whatever support we can add. If technology is not available, we will provide learning packets and guidance over the phone. Your child’s teacher is working hard to meet not only your child’s educational needs, but all of the children under his/her care. It is very important to us that every child receives the same learning opportunities, so whether the instruction is given through the internet, through textbook instruction, paper packets, or by phone, it is our desire to keep students safe while providing learning opportunities that are both equal and worthwhile. This is new for all of us, so we sincerely ask for your feedback and help as we complete these final weeks of school. If you have questions at any time about our plans, please email myself, Matt Cue, or Allen Hicks at shawntennyson@waukomis.k12.ok.us, mattcue@waukomis.k12.ok.us, or allenhicks@waukomis.k12.ok.us. Sincerely, Shawn Tennyson Superintendent Waukomis Public Schools
